These two from the Pill Refinery Hall were known to be the best at fighting and the best at causing trouble in this batch of Heavenly Gates pupils. They had only entered the Heavenly Gates for half a year, but they had experienced many large and small battles, from the Pill Refinery Hall to the Equipment Refinery Hall. They would challenge anyone they did not like. This was widely spread in the Heavenly Gates. If Wang Zhong could cause trouble, these two were even more so. It was just that Wang Zhong's identity from a low-leveled civilization allowed others to comment without restraint. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong had always been a fine tradition in the Heavenly Gates.
Furthermore, regardless of whether it was the gold Titan or the tree person from the Natural race, their combat power was definitely off the charts. They had beaten many people into submission. Furthermore, their natural endowments in pill refinery were outstanding, and their reputation was not inferior to Celeste's. They were rather famous among this batch of pupils and were the type that no one dared to provoke.
Jhonas was excited. Were they Boss's friends?
Boss was indeed Boss. His friends were all so arrogant, and each was fiercer than the other. They were gold Titans and tree people! He had to seize the opportunity to get to know them. "You two …"
He hurriedly rubbed his hands and smiled as he approached them. However, he received a pair of copper eyes and a warning finger from Tsarisiya. "Stand further away. I never talk to pigs."
Jhonas was instantly petrified and suffered a critical hit. He cursed in his heart, but he did not know whether he should say it or not. Did the pig dig up his ancestor's grave? He did not like them! Boss's friends were really … too uncute!
Celeste saw this. She knew about the relationship between Jhonas and Wang Zhong. At that moment, she smiled, but when she looked at the stage, she could not help but become serious.
In the past, she was not surprised by Wang Zhong's calmness when he encountered trouble. For example, when he confronted Battier in the Pill Refinery Hall. After all, Celeste had personally seen Wang Zhong produce a Perfect Pill. He had the capital to be arrogant. But this time … Wang Zhong definitely did not know nothing about artifacts. However, this superficial understanding might harm him.
Under normal circumstances, a Xudan powerhouse definitely wouldn't be able to display the full power of a grade 6 magic tool, and they might even be directly dragged down by the powerful wear and tear of the grade 6 magic tool. It wasn't that the more powerful a magic tool was, the more powerful it was. This understanding was indeed correct. However, the 10,000 Tempering Soul Armor was different. It was exclusive to the Ghost Race, and Ghost Cultivators could unleash its full power! This Soul Armor was able to withstand attacks with a Spiritual Energy Value of 500,000 to 1,000,000. It also had an extremely high defense against elemental attacks. This meant that regardless of whether it was Wang Zhong's physical attacks or the freezing abilities he had used earlier, they were basically useless against this Soul Armor!
This battle was very difficult!
"You found helpers?" Gorst laughed and actually spoke. He was obviously referring to Tsarisiya and Nibaru.
Wang Zhong did not reply and simply stood there quietly. Instead, he waited for the runic barrier around the Life and Death Arena to be completed and for the Titan supervisor to give the order to start the battle.
"Unfortunately, even they can't save you." Gorst smiled as he spoke. It seemed like he was mocking Wang Zhong, but in reality, he did not relax at all. A true life and death battle was not just about the battle itself. There were also equipment battles, psychological battles, and other aspects. "I will tear you apart in this arena in front of everyone. I will tear you apart like a chicken and imprison your soul in the Lock Tower, never to return. That's right, I heard that you have an Earthling lover in the Anoma Club? Don't worry, I'll help you take care of her. I'll use some special techniques … Heh heh, you know. Although the temperament of you Earthlings is poor, your facial features and figures can really be considered the best among celestialoids. In particular, women are my type. "
He stared into Wang Zhong's eyes without blinking, and his voice was filled with provocation. He wanted to completely destroy this Earthling, not to vent his anger, but to ensure that he would win.
Ghosts rarely participated in direct battles as they were better at solving problems with their brains. However, this did not mean that they did not know how to fight. Furthermore, once they stood on the battlefield of a life and death battle, the focus and attitude of a Ghost would definitely be the most outstanding in the entire divine territory. Even a lion would use its full strength to capture a rabbit! Underestimating the enemy? Such a thing would not happen to the Ghost race even after 10,000 years!
However, Wang Zhong still did not react, even though Gorst had deliberately mentioned Lan Daier. His ability to resist trash talk was not innate. Instead, it was determined and nurtured by his environment.
Anyone who heard Simba talking nonstop from the first day they came into contact with cultivation would definitely be able to cultivate to the point where they would not be shocked even if the sky collapsed in front of them. They would simply treat the heavens as nothing more than a fart.
Wang Zhong did not have any intention of looking down on Gorst, but compared to Simba's trash talk, which had already reached the level of art, Gorst's trash talk was like a drizzle and had no lethality at all.
His gaze was blurry, and he was lazy, as if he was absent-minded. However, his spiritual power was gathering, and he was ready to explode at any moment.
A faint fluorescent light spread from Wang Zhong's body. If one did not look closely, they would not be able to detect it. Meanwhile, while Gorst ridiculed Wang Zhong, the 10,000 Tempering Soul Armor on his body had already entered a battle state. The energy on the armor seemed dim, but it contained spiritual light.
The feeling that the two of them conveyed to all the spectators was almost exactly the same. They looked down on each other strategically and placed importance on each other's tactics. All the experts could clearly see the sharpness that was hidden under the relaxed appearance.
The Titan supervisor simply ignored the suspicious gaze that Rhode D from the Law Enforcement Association frequently shot at his drink bottle. He grabbed it without any scruples and took a large gulp. It was rare to see a decent battle among a group of new pupils. Even this silent confrontation before the battle was a hundred times more exciting than the battles in the Combat Cultivation Hall boundary cloth. It was like the Manchu Han Imperial Feast and unsalted pickles. There was no way to compare them at all.
Even though he had always looked down on Gorst's noisy personality and looked down on the various dirty and despicable methods of the Ghosts, even the Titan supervisor had to admit that the Ghosts were indeed the best at controlling the battle situation with their natural endowments in combat. If it were any other newcomer, even if they could not maintain their anger in the face of Gorst's insults, it would be very difficult for them to maintain their calm. However, Wang Zhong's mentality was even stronger than he had imagined. Even the Titan supervisor could not sense any fluctuation in his emotions. Not even the slightest bit!
This kind of person was too cold and focused. It did not matter whether it was techniques or strength. Only this kind of person was worthy of being called a true natural combat machine.
Bang!
The runic protective barrier around the Life and Death Arena finally closed up. At the same time, it was as if he had announced the start of the battle. Wang Zhong's lazy gaze flashed before disappearing, and the spiritual power that he had accumulated erupted. He did not choose to steadily defend like he usually did. Instead, he instantly disappeared from his original spot and turned into a ray of light.
The next second, his palm had already reached Gorst's chest.
Fast! Too fast!
Even those who had high expectations for Wang Zhong during his battle with Balor and gave him a fair evaluation felt that this Earthling was too fast at that moment. He was so fast that it was abnormal. The explosion of spiritual power had obviously increased by one level compared to the previous battle, but he was still a Foundational Stage and had not accumulated his Void Core. This was too unbelievable. Did the Foundational Stage from this low-leveled civilization not have any upper limits or bottlenecks?
Gorst had no intention of dodging at all. The 10,000 Tempering Soul Armor immediately flashed with a dazzling light. Even the instinctive defensive capabilities of a level-6 artifact could be said to be heaven-defying. He did not need any excess spiritual power to activate it. It was as easy as eating and drinking for an attack with a Spiritual Energy Value of several hundred thousand. However, Wang Zhong's attack did not just stop at the instant when his attack was unleashed.
Spiritual power continuously shot out from his palm. The continuous penetrative power of the 3rd Drive was the main focus of his attack. The power of stacking power did not just lie in the simple accumulation of power. Instead, it could make one's defense unable to catch a breath during the continuous attack. Thus, it was more effective in breaking through one's defense.
However, at that moment, this killing move, which had always been effective, had lost its original effect. It was not difficult to penetrate the 10,000 Tempering Soul Armor's defense, but the moment the power burst forth from his opponent's body, Wang Zhong immediately felt as if he had sunk into the ocean. His opponent's body simply became transparent. Wang Zhong could even see the smile on his opponent's face, which had become transparent, as if he was mocking him for overestimating himself.
At the same time, a silver hook had already circled behind him, as if it had been waiting for Wang Zhong to take the bait.
Gorst's combat style was very clear. He would endure Wang Zhong's attack and exchange blows with Wang Zhong. This seemed brainless but was extremely effective. The speed of this attack was not extremely fast, but it had been launched at the same time as Wang Zhong's attack.
This attack was just to test the power of his opponent's Soul Armor. Wang Zhong had long sensed the threat coming from behind him.
If this had happened a few months ago, Wang Zhong would definitely not have been able to dodge such a synchronized attack immediately after completing a 3rd Drive attack. There were too many restrictions on spiritual power in the Foundational Stage. Regardless of whether it was in terms of explosiveness, storage, speed of circulation, etc., these were problems that Foundational Stages could not avoid.
However, over the past two to three months, he had participated in equipment refinery with Lavel. He could only slowly use the method of 'changing his spiritual power waveband' due to the interference of the spiritual pressure in the divine territory. However, he had become extremely familiar with it. Furthermore, his spiritual power had increased over the past month.
At that moment, his spiritual power waveband instantly changed as if he was changing gears. The power of the 3rd Drive attack had not dissipated, but new power had already burst forth from his body and gathered at his lower body. This was the reason why he dared to ignore Wang Zhong's counterattack and forcefully attack.
He used his Ghostly Steps at an extremely fast speed, and his body flashed to the side like a phantom. Several afterimages mixed together. It was as if he was attacking and dodging at the same time. At the critical moment, not only did he completely avoid the Soul Reaping Chain's attack, he had also moved away and exposed Pavaro, who was already right in front of him, to his own weapon attack!
"Child's play." There was no change in Pavaro's expression. There was even a hint of mockery on his face.
Not only did he panic, he did not even need to change his attack. The Soul Reaping Chain was different from ordinary artifacts. An attack that targeted one's soul would not be affected by one's vision or change in direction. At that moment, it turned 180 degrees and chased closely after Wang Zhong's true body after using Ghostly Steps!
Wang Zhong had dodged very quickly, but the follow-up attack was even faster. It was as if he had not dodged at all. His opponent simply did not change to deal with the myriad of changes, causing Lao Wang's signature 3rd Drive and Ghostly Steps to be completely useless under the restrictions of the artifact. This was just a probing attack, but he had fallen into a completely passive state.
A bright light burst forth from Wang Zhong's eyes. After all, Ghostly Steps was a type of illusory footwork and did not increase his speed in a straight line. When he sensed that the attack behind him had approached him in an instant, he stomped his feet and suddenly rose into the air. He hung upside down like a golden hook. At the same time, spiritual power surged into his palms and fiercely slammed them down, clamping down on the Soul Reaping Chain that was following closely behind him.
There was a low hum, and a hazy white light flashed from the spot where the Soul Reaping Chain and Wang Zhong's palms were clamped together.
It was as if he had been struck by lightning, but it also seemed like a roar. Wang Zhong simply felt his entire body turn numb, and two afterimages appeared in that instant …
"They are not afterimages." Pavaro furrowed his eyebrows. "My soul was almost shaken out of my body!"
The sudden and massive shock caused him to lose control of his palms and simply let go. The Soul Reaping Chain took advantage of the situation and charged straight in. It easily and violently struck Wang Zhong's chest.
Hum! Hum!
This time, it was even more obvious. Everyone could see that there was a white afterimage accompanying Wang Zhong's body as he flew backwards, and it almost 'flew out of the basket'. It pulled at his true body and stumbled. The entire arena reverberated with a low hum that caused one's heart to palpitate and their ears to turn numb after their soul was shaken!
Thump thump thump thump!
Wang Zhong retreated seventeen or eighteen steps before he could stabilize himself.
There was still a calm expression on his face, but everyone knew that regardless of whether it was his palms that were clamped together with the Soul Reaping Chain or his chest that had been struck, he did not seem to have suffered any injuries on the surface, but his soul had been severely injured.
The Soul Reaping Chain was an artifact that was specially made to complement the Ghost race's soul attack and specifically targeted one's soul. Even though it was only a level-7 artifact, when combined with the Ghost race's soul absorption ability, it was a killing weapon that could not be defended against. Many experts who had fought with Ghosts before were well aware of this. When faced with the Soul Reaping Chain of a Ghost, one could not hope to dodge it. The Soul Reaping Chain attacked by smelling one's soul and ignored all confusion. It was not something that could be avoided by any flashy movement techniques or techniques.
The only way to deal with it was to use an artifact of the same level to resist it. As for using one's soul to forcefully resist its attack? Heh heh, that was impossible. No Void Core would have a soul that could withstand the attack of a level-7 artifact.
Don't say that an Earthling with an elemental spirit would definitely have a powerful soul. Don't joke around. Elemental spirits only chose people based on whether one's soul was perfect and whether one had potential. That was the main point. It had nothing to do with how powerful one's soul was. If not, based on the standards of elemental spirits, no Void Core would be able to gain the favor of an elemental spirit.
A smile appeared on Gorst's face. Opposite him, Wang Zhong still pretended to be calm, but Gorst knew that Wang Zhong's soul had definitely been injured. Even if Wang Zhong's soul was more powerful than that of an ordinary Void Core and could maintain a complete soul for a while, this attack would at least cause his consciousness to scatter and make it difficult for him to concentrate …
After this battle, perhaps some people would say that he had an unfair advantage, but he did not care about these things at all. The feeling of crushing his opponent effortlessly was truly the ultimate enjoyment.
He did not rush to attack immediately. Although it had only been one round, Wang Zhong had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage in terms of both offense and defense. In a situation where he could completely control the situation, Gorst did not mind showing off his personal presence.
"How do you feel? How many more attacks can you take? "he asked with a smile, as if he was an elder asking a child.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhong took a deep breath and revealed a mysterious smile on his face.
The Ghost Race's Soul Reaper Chain, which was highly praised by the Void Cores, did not seem to be much.
The moment he came into contact with the Soul Reaper Chain, his body felt slightly stiff. This was unavoidable. His soul also felt as if it had been violently shaken. However, this attack, which seemed to be unsolvable to others, was actually the least harmful to him.
The soul was the foundation of a cultivator. Its strength depended on whether one's will was strong or not, what one had experienced, whether one had tempered enough, and many other aspects. For many Void Cores who had just started cultivating in the divine territory, this was an absolutely weak link. However, for these people who had experienced countless tribulations in the lower realms before entering the divine territory, the soul would always be the only point that was worthy of praise for them being stronger than the divine territory.
Furthermore, this was Lao Wang. His soul had left his body? It seemed that he was already used to this when he was still in Tianjing. The exaggerated image of him leaving his body did not mean anything at all.
"It's like being bitten by a mosquito." Wang Zhong turned his body, and a cold aura spread from his hands. The surrounding temperature seemed to have suddenly dropped by several dozen degrees, and frost could be seen condensing in the air within a half-foot radius around him. He calmly replied, "It doesn't feel like much."
"Pretentious!"
The people who were watching intently could not help but curse. Would it kill him to not boast so much? Even Pavaro, the current top student in the Combat Cultivation Hall, and even Tsarisiya and the others from the Pill Refinery Hall who had reached the Solid Core Realm did not dare to say that they felt like they were bitten by a mosquito when they were hit by the Ghost Race's Soul Reaper Chain, right?
Even Tsarisiya could not help but mutter to Celeste, who was beside him. "Sister, don't say that I didn't help your lover. Why is it that the more I look at this fellow, the more I feel that he is asking for a beating?"
Celeste could not help but laugh. She was rather worried just now, but when she heard Wang Zhong's words, for some reason, she felt that he was trustworthy. As for Tsarisiya's "lover" and whatnot, Celeste was already used to this reckless person speaking without thinking. Furthermore, she and Wang Zhong were already open and frank, so she did not care. At that moment, she smiled and replied, "What if he is telling the truth?"
"Nonsense! Even I don't dare to boast about this. Are you saying that I am inferior to him? "Tsarisiya ridiculed." The Ghost Race's Soul Reaper Chain is very annoying. "
"Ha ha ha ha! You are the most arrogant member of a low-leveled civilization that I have ever seen. However, arrogance can only be supported by strength! "Gorst laughed out loud." Do you think that the cold air in your hands is not cold enough to chill a drink? "
Gorst was about to cry from laughing. He thought that Wang Zhong had some self-awareness and had some trump cards. After all, Wang Zhong was a descendant of the Babi family and an expert in equipment refinery. If Gorst was in Wang Zhong's shoes, he would have squeezed out a few artifacts from Jhonas.
But now, Wang Zhong had used an elemental attack to deal with the 10,000 Tempering Soul Armor. Gorst suspected that there was something wrong with Wang Zhong's brain.
However, Wang Zhong did not reply. At that moment, the ice power that he had gathered in his hands had reached his limit. The extreme coldness even caused his mind to become extremely clear at this moment. His body swayed slightly, and everyone realized that his arrogance did not seem to be completely false. At the very least, his movement speed was not inferior to before. The two soul attacks from the Soul Reaper Chain did not seem to affect his condition much. It was as if his soul had not been injured at all.
Zeng!
A cold light flashed across the battlefield, and a dense chill followed the trajectory of Wang Zhong's charge. It formed a bright silver arc in the air and shot towards Gorst like a sharp arrow.
Wang Zhong would not shed a tear until he saw his coffin.
Gorst laughed coldly and simply ignored the attack of the chill. The power of the Ghost Race had already been channeled into the Soul Reaper Chain. This time, the Soul Reaper Chain was overflowing with silver light and was filled with energy. Regardless of whether this Earthling was bluffing or his soul was exceptionally resistant, Gorst did not intend to give him any more chances. This strike would take his life!
Boom!
The silver light collided with the cold light, and it was as if they had collided into each other. The condensed attack instantly shattered, and the battlefield was instantly covered in a vast expanse of whiteness from the impact of the overflowing energy. It was as if a large fog had formed.
Wang Zhong felt as if the condensed cold air had encountered some kind of nemesis the moment it came into contact with his opponent's body. The gathered energy was instantly shattered. Although the extremely low temperature that had already dropped could not disappear all of a sudden, it could not be condensed. Instead, it was broken down and diluted in the air by a strange rule energy. Although people could still clearly feel the bone-piercing low temperature in the arena, to experts at this level, the cold air that had been diluted to such a degree could not even make them feel uncomfortable, let alone injure them.
"This is why the 10,000 Tempering Soul Armor is unbreakable." Celeste's expression was grave. "Unless it has undergone a qualitative change, elemental attacks will not have any effect on the 10,000 Tempering Soul Armor …"
"Wang Zhong cannot break through its defense." Tsarisiya shook his head. "It is not wise to challenge Gorst without any special preparations."
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw traces of flames appear in the vast expanse of white fog in the battlefield. Just as Gorst was feeling pleased with himself, Wang Zhong rushed forward. His fists were surrounded by flames, and he broke through the cold fog and instantly appeared in front of Gorst.
Boom boom boom boom …
His fists, which contained powerful flame spiritual power, violently smashed into Gorst's body. Raging flames started to burn, and in an instant, the white fog was blown away, turning the vast expanse of white in the Life and Death Arena into a sea of flames!
This …
Everyone felt an inexplicable sense of distortion. What the hell was going on?
Dual elemental affinity?!
This was considered very rare among many high-leveled races, but it had actually appeared on an Earthling. This made everyone feel very uncomfortable.
However, on the other hand, the vulgarity of this Earthling had once again appeared. He had racked his brains and used all his schemes, but he still could not understand. Was there a difference between flames and ice?
